Novel Full Chapter 151 Dana Jolbaris
Leena thoroughly read the contract, the terms were what they accorded with only one extra thing, Erin took the liberty of adding the Argent clan in the amnesty, so if Leena signed it, she could not go against them in any form.
“Tsk, cunning fox woman”, she thought looking at Erin’s smiling expression, she made a little cut in her index finger and signed the contract, then handed it to Daimon.
“I agree with the conditions, your turn kid”.
Daimon took the contract from her directly signed it, Erin is his girl so there is no way she would add something that might be detrimental for him.
A contract with a half emperor apparently was different than the one of the academy, after Daimon signed it, a magic symbol floated from the scroll and entered Leena’s right hand, the same happened for Daimon.
Leena showed the reverse of her hand to Erin, where the magic rune which meant “thrust” glowed for a couple of seconds before it disappeared.
“It’s done, I need to return to the Jolbaris family grounds, so I will take my leave, but Gabriel and Dana will stay here this weekend… just in case Arthur decides to try something funny”.
Daimon rose his left eyebrow, but after a moment of contemplation he agreed, after this weekend, getting any “obstacles” out of the way was going to be impossible, since at least another two half emperor were going to be present for the competition week.
“That’s okay for me, if she’s going to go with us to the exploration then I need to see her abilities, there is no guarantee that I can be with her at all times after all”.
“Also, I’m not a babysitter so I hope miss Leena’s niece knows how to properly behave”.
Daimon had many bad experiences with the Jolbaris and Dana was younger than them, so his expectations were a spoiled brat version of Alexander.
Leena snorted.
“She says that, but the only one that suffered was me”, thought Gabriel
It still makes him fell a chill running down his spine, he also used to be a bit despotic when he was younger, until one day Leena saw it not only, she scolded him but she made him go through a hellish corrective treatment.
Although now that he was older, he could perfectly understand why she did it, he was still a bit afraid of the fierceness of his aunt.
Erin waved her hand as if she was chasing her away.
“Go get that girl and return you aren’t the only busy one here you know?”.
Leena ignored Erin, she floated towards the door and after leaving for a moment she returned while holding the hand of a little girl of about 12 years old.
Leena returned to her seat, while the girl presented herself, she rose the sides of her coat and slightly bowed her head, before saying.
“My name is Dana Jolbaris, it’s a pleasure to meet you aunties and big brother from the Revy and Argent clan!”.
Daimon evaluated the little girl in front of them, she was wearing a white short coat and a blue skirt, just like Leena she had blue eyes and white hair but it was shorter reaching only a few centimeters down her shoulders and there were no black stripes on it yet, she also had tiger like ears and tail.
Also considering she and Alexander’s ages weren’t that far from each other, there was a big contrast in their attitudes.
Erin used her mana sense to inspect Dana and she frowned her brows.
“Leena this girl is lovely, are you sure you were the one that taught her…also are you really going to send a peak novice mage to the exploration… you know how bloody things are going to be this time right?”.
Leena snorted at Erin.
“If I didn’t need someone to protect her then why would I have accepted joining hands with you, anyway go bring someone with the same age and realm as her, then you’ll see why I’m willing to let her go”.
Erin’s gaze narrowed, she already knew someone whose age and realm didn’t match his actual strength, which is Daimon, and judging by Leena’s proud expression she decided to give this little girl a go.
“Fine, let’s see how she fairs against her peers of my clan”.
With a wave of her hand a barrier covered them all before she used space shift to transport everyone, to the preparation school were all those who haven’t reached the star rankings study for the day where they fulfill the requirements to attend the academy.
Even at weekend there were activities, but only for those who were considered the crème of the crop, after all the objective of this place was to prepare the younger generation to outstand at the academy.
The teachers saw Erin outside and they immediately stopped what they were doing and left the building before kneeling in front of her.
“Greetings to the matriarch!”.
Inside of the school all the students were looking through the windows.
A young boy with red hair stood out from the rest, he moved some of his classmates to get a better view of the situation.
Elaine did some visits from time to time, but getting a visit from the matriarch was the highest honor they could receive, if they managed to impress Erin, they will be nurtured by the family.
Erin waved her hand, this overbearing attention she got in the clan was the reason as to whys he normally moved using dark curtain to hide her presence.
“Stood up, I’m here for some important matters, bring the best students here, the conditions are twelve years old and peak of the novice mage realm”.
As soon as Erin’s words sounded, all the students nearly went crazy they all tried to leave the classrooms to promote themselves, but under the supervision of the teachers, only the ones considered the best were allowed to stand in front of Erin.
There were five young members of the Revy family three boys and two girls, among them the boy with red hair seemed to be the leader since he was standing a few centimeters in front of the rest.
The teacher immediately presented them to Erin.
“As the matriarch knows, we only have five classrooms which are reserved for the best of the younger generation and these are the representatives of each class, from left to right”.
“Easan Revy”.
“Gerard Revy”.
“Ernest Revy”.
“Susan Revy”.
“Anna Revy”.
Erin looked at the boys and girls which were in front of them and she couldn’t help but find them… disappointing, although they had a decent amount of mana, it was obvious they haven’t been in a real fight ever before, when Daimon was their age, he already had fought against countless magic beasts.
But these children were the sons and daughters of the elders so they grew like flowers in a greenhouse, beside some friendly spars none of them had real experience.
“Whatever, that little girl shouldn’t be that different”, she thought before nodding.
“We have some guests who want to exchange a few pointers, so I brought them here for a one versus one match, the winner will get a reward from the clan, so what do you say?”.
All the students nodded with happy expressions, but that changed as soon as they heard Leena saying.
“That is too boring, let them all fight against Dana if you want the fight to last a bit that is”.
The red-haired boy who turned out to be called Easan gritted his teeth and gave Leena a hateful gaze, he used to be acclaimed as a genius among the younger generation, recognized by the supreme elder himself, but since Daimon appeared and after the supreme elder fell in disgrace, no one paid him any attention.
And now he was being looked down and by someone from another family, still he wasn’t stupid enough to lose control in front of the matriarch so he forcefully suppressed the anger which was invading him and just remained silent.
Erin shrugged at Leena and then pointed at the platform in the backyard of the school.
“If that’s what you want then fine by me, the match will be five versus one, magic weapons aren’t allowed lethal attacks are forbidden and the perpetrator will be punished by me”.
After saying that the teachers and their students walked towards the platform, although magic weapons weren’t allowed, the school had a variety of weapons which didn’t have any inscription, so they could use them to exhibit their battle skills.
Dana looked at Erin and asked with her innocent voice.
“Aunt Erin, can I also use my weapon?”.
Erin felt weird listening to Leena’s niece calling her aunt, but there were no bad intentions in her words, so she took it as a little girl’s demeanor.
“Of course, there is a complete storage of magicless equipment for training so just tell the teachers what do you want and they will bring it for you”.
“Mm”, Dana happily nodded and approached one of the teachers to ask what she wanted.
Something that caught Daimon’s interest was that the weapon of choice of Dana wasn’t in the visible options.
“Sword, spear, bow, hammer, knives and throwing things, I can see many versions of those and yet she didn’t take any of it… I wonder what is her weapon then?”.
Soon the teacher returned with a big pair of metal gauntlets, with a weird expression he handed them to Dana and then stayed aside.
Dana approached Gabriel and showed him the gauntlets.
“Brother can you please pierce the protections of the fingers?”.
Gabriel did what she asked and then helped her put on the gauntlets, which were clearly not of her size as they covered almost all her arms, creating a childish scene as if a little girl was trying to use the armor of her father.
